After
what seems an absolute age I made a pizza yesterday. Was feeling a
little lazy so decided to let the bread maker do the kneading. The thing
is that the recipe I follow for pizza dough is exact except for the
amount of water I add.
So I go online and peruse several
recipes before concluding they don't know what they are on about and
make the dough by hand. I say I made the dough but Rajarajan actually did most of the work.
Those of you who have had one of my pizzas will know I like to add way
too much cheese and this one was no exception. Brie, Camembert,
Gorgonzola and cheddar! Following this cheese fest I went on to dream
about seeing my dog walking underwater like a hippopotamus, being
shirtless everywhere and having a 2 storey conservatory.

Plans, wings, pen 15 and Ludacris
Got up at 4am, caught the train at 7am got to work at 8am. I then spent 45 minutes sat on top of my suitcase, I carry my sleeping bag in a suitcase because I've lost my sleeping bag bag. Steph our superb delivery agent swung by to take the piss and drop off our Friday delivery.
Set off from work met up at spoons for a civilised drink. Mandy drove us! Reminiscent of my first week in the job when she drove us across town a few times :-D Some time passed and we headed off to Ribs 'n' Bibs. Where we'd liberally coated the table in our stock catchphrases/expressions. I then proceeded to deliver an extraordinarily moving speech only pausing to write Pen 15 on Sarah's hand. I chose to write in board marker, partly because that's all we had and partly because it should wash/wipe off quite easily. That said the Pen 15 was refreshed on a regular basis, awesome!
It's all sounding rather run of the mill am I right? But now comes the bucket of 50 wings which have to be consumed in 25 minutes. So I go flying out the gates chomping like a mad man. If one of the photos is anything to go by I eat wings with my eyes closed! As time progresses my face is slowly accrues a liberal layer of sauce, whilst the bib remains strangely clean.
In the end I managed to battle through 43 of the bad boys. That's 86%, but this is an all or nothing challenge and now my sad, sad face adorns the wall of shame :( :D.
But that's not all that happened, we discussed an enormous variety of topics: adoption, incarceration, cycling whilst under the influence, Marc's dedication towards becoming hench n gay, secret asians etc. The night kind of petered out after that. I also managed to pull off the five question con on Fish! Been meaning to try it forever and was presented with an opportunity too good to turn down :-D
Swapnal and I went in search of Mark, who was sporting a mankini + bib combo that was too...I honestly don't know how to describe it. But we walked in to a club stood around for a bit and decided we were in the wrong place and walked out again. Upon finding the right entrance the queue is look rather ridiculous, ain't nobody got time for that! So we grab a pizza and walk back to Eastbourne St. On the way we receive some abuse from some lovely young men shouting from a car :D
Get in, watch 2 Fast 2 Furious and then I decide to read a bit of Double Cross before dozing off. As I am reading about the exploits of Dusko Popov in America, Swapnal's new flatmate Vicky gets in from a night out. Of course she confuses me for Swapnal, as you all know we are identical in everyway so it's to be expected :P That said thoroughly nice girl who chatted to be for about an hour.
67 comments a PB :D
I realise this isn't my usual rambling but it was sooo massive I just had to store it away safely!
Sooo I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach at work today. So much so that I let Sarah punch me in the stomach!
- Gemma Saruni, Ashleigh Hasbian Wilkin, Swapnal Patel and 3 others like this.
Sarah Fisher hope it helped!
Ron G It did a bit tbh I was feeling rather numb n dizzy beforehand. Kinda snapped me back! Is your wrist ok? Mate of mine sprained his, back in the day, when he had a go.- Sarah Fisher haha youre not that solid! just clicked when u hit you
- Ron G Note to self: must do more ab work
Jagdish Rabadia alot more yoga needs attention my freind- Ron G Goes without saying Jag, a lot more inner work as well for sure!
Eleanor Booth Hahahaha at "inner work" You so crazy- Jagdish Rabadia laughter may help too
- Eleanor Booth That's just punching air.... lol lol lol
- Jagdish Rabadia punching an imagined being.lol
- Ron G Indeed it is! Got home a little later than usual, owing to...
So didn't have time for my usual workout.
And I was indeed punching the non-existential in the face! Quite the mad thing to do - Eleanor Booth ...why were you late home....? I'm sure whatever the reason it was a darned good one!
PS that's not a fair fight. x - Eleanor Booth Well it sounds like it was worth missing your usual work out for wouldn't you agree?
Hahahaha true, but you cannot be attacked back by that which does not exist. And whose to say that shadow's do not exist.... x23 April at 22:06 · Like - Ron G Worth it but if my triceps get all soft and useless I know where I'll be pointing the finger!
Well a shadow is the lack of light. So if it is darkness then it is that which is not, it doesn't exist. Based on our current understanding of the universe. - Eleanor Booth Of course it was worth it...or so it sounds. Hahahaha I doubt that would happen from one missed session.
Oohh is someone quoting Einstein there! x - Ron G Worth it for sure.
Well you'd be surprised, my body is terribly high maintenance!
If I was it wasn't intentional Unintentional Einstein quote! - Eleanor Booth Good lol
Haha it looks it. If you come in tomorrow and look like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSzw5XyVQfY
we shall know that you weren't just exaggerating.
Maaaan that's even better - if ya didn't even know... Tsk. x
- Ron G Nice use of Maaaan
When you read the stuff I post do you read it in my voice, in your head? - Eleanor Booth Yeah I do. Do you read it in my voice? x
- Ron G Indeed I do, just wondered because I was also picturing your face saying Maaan as well
- Eleanor Booth Hahaha....creeeeepy!! What did it look like?
I actually imagined that quietly smug face you have when you telling me that darkness does not exist - Eleanor Booth hahahahaha!! No you have another one for when you are making a kick ass point. Its like you cant help but smile...
- Ron G hmmm you'll have to take a pic and show me, I smile at every opportunity!
- Eleanor Booth Yeah you do but this one is more....smug!
- Ron G If you say so Elle still gonna have to see it to believe it
- Eleanor Booth Alright Doubting Thomas!! Try and beat me in an argument and then quickly look in a mirror! Smug git
- Ron G I think I may have just flashed the exact smile you were referring to well played!
- Eleanor Booth Thank you!! *applause, applause* *bows *. Plus I just beat you!!! Muhahahah!!!! x
- Ron G So you know my smiles better than I do!
I am either not very self aware, smilewise. Or you are quite the expert in the field of my smiles! - Eleanor Booth Hmmm I'm not sure its either. Perhaps I'm just more observant and intuitive than you are clearly giving me credit for.
- Ron G Possibly, or I smile smugly rather often.
- Eleanor Booth Hmm...it might be both this time...
- Ron G I don't see why not
- Eleanor Booth How long are these comments now. Its just us left...
- Ron G I reckon this is a PB for one of my statuses!
- Eleanor Booth PB?
- Ron G Personal best
- Eleanor Booth I think it might have to be. I was very glad to be a part of it and I hope you remember me in your memoirs!
- Ron G I thought you were compiling them?
- Eleanor Booth No. I am compiling the status' to go along with said memoir
- Ron G Have I inadvertently committed to writing something long and involved? Surely you know enough about me to write my memoirs, right? I'm sure you'd do a much better job, I'd fill it with wall to wall clichés
- Eleanor Booth Hahahahahaha!! Omg you would. Okay, you write it and I'll edit the shit out of it. Like I do for Swapnal when he gives me things to rewrite. I don't even think he tries...
- Ron G Well he obviously has utmost faith in your editing skills. Or he knows regardless of how hard he tries you'll alter/improve so much, that the extra effort just isn't worth it.
- Eleanor Booth Has someone been working on their complimenting skills?! I think its probably the latter with a little bit of what I said thrown in.
- Ron G Sounds likely, also he knows you love tearing things apart and putting them back together with your own additions. So he gives you a lot to tear apart
- Eleanor Booth I don't love that...that sound so violent. That's not me at all!!!
- Ron G hmmm how about carefully de-constructing something before meticulously reconstructing it with your own additions. Better?
- Eleanor Booth Much better! ...although I kinda do ripping things apart
- Ron G Figuratively ripping or literally ripping?
- Eleanor Booth Both I guess!! ...I think I am rather violent aren't i...?
- Ron G Well it is in our nature to be quite physical so expressing that would also be natural, I guess.
- Ron G I haven't seen any examples of you being violent
- Eleanor Booth Its not in my nature to be physical!! I avoid physical exertions unless deemed absolutely necessary.
Hmmm maybe its bc you sit so faaaaar away. - Ron G Yeah I do sit proper far away don't I. Maybe the lack of physical exertion is manifesting as violence?
- Eleanor Booth Yes, yes you do!!
Hahaha I think it might actually be. Either that or I can be wound up faaar too easily. - Ron G HIIT, it'll solve your issues with violence
And it'll chill you out if you think you get wound up too easily. - Eleanor Booth You see but that's going back to physical exertion.
Hahaha I am chilled out its just if you know what annoys me its too easy to do. - Ron G Mark obviously knows you too well!
- Eleanor Booth Yes he does. He can do it with 3 little Nothern-ly pronounced words....
- Ron G Would you say that's his catchphrase now?
- Eleanor Booth That and "fuming". And who could forget "explain"!!! Oh I will miss that boy. Meet ups are defo in order!!!! xx
- Ron G I may have to retire to bed soon or else I shan't be able to spring out of bed in a few hours time.
- Eleanor Booth O god yeah course. Night night! xx
- Ron G Goodnight!
